As part of Earth Day, Bavaria extends an invitation to do things for her through recycling (Translation)
26 April 2010
Bogotá, April 21st, 2010. As part of Earth Day, which is to be celebrated tomorrow worldwide, Bavaria, the leading beverage company in Colombia, makes a new call for Colombians to make recycling a part of their habits, as a way to lessen the impact of solid residue on the planet and to decelerate the use of natural resources for the production of new containers and packaging.
The appetizer for this invitation was provided on April 13th when Bavaria, along with another eight companies in the retail sector, launched the "Recycling Has Value" project, within the framework of the Entrepreneurial Commitment for Recycling - CEMPRE for its Spanish acronym. This is an initiative supported by the Ministry of Environment, Housing and Territorial Development, and geared towards reducing pollution, preserving natural resources and improving the quality of life of Colombian society. There, Bavaria committed itself to support specific recycling actions, beginning with the proposal that, starting today, Bogotans sort their residues better and deposit them in any of the fifteen collection points set up by Carrefour throughout the city.
Bavaria makes an additional call to all consumers of its products, to protect the returnable bottles and crates that come into their hands. The inadequate use of these bottles and crates (for example, when they are used to store paint, paraffin or chemical substances, among others), implies an additional burden for the planet, for these must be destroyed before entering the production line. They cannot be recycled and must be, in some cases, replaced by new units, and new natural resources must be consumed for their production.
Bavaria also invites grocers throughout the country to return all bottles and crates of older formats to the company representatives, in order for them to be properly recycled. The deadline for the collection of these old containers is on the coming 30th of April.
Fernando Jaramillo, Corporate Affairs Vice-President of Bavaria, stated the company's commitment to recycling with the following words: "One of our sustainable development priorities is to work for our operations to have zero waste, which as a matter of fact includes the adequate handling of bottles and crates by our grocers and consumers. Also, by de-stimulating the production of new bottles from scratch, a huge contribution is made towards reducing our carbon footprint in the atmosphere. For these reasons, starting today, we want to have a greater commitment to recycling, for the earth is also our friend and we want to continue doing things for her".
Bavaria S. A. is the largest beverage company of Colombia. Its brands Águila, Águila Light, Club Colombia, Cola & Pola, Costeña, Costeñita, Peroni, Pilsen, Póker, Redd's and Pony Malta are leaders in their respective beverage categories in Colombia.

"Over the past decade, tens of thousands of people have donated nearly $100 million to Cancer Fund of America. In telephone calls and letters, the Tennessee-based charity touts the direct financial aid it gives to people like the Smiths.
"But the real beneficiaries are not dying cancer patients and the families who have gone broke trying to save them.
"While Cancer Fund provides care packages that contain shampoo and toothbrushes, the people in charge have personally made millions of dollars and used donations as venture capital to build a charity empire. Less than 2 cents of every dollar raised has gone to direct cash aid for patients or families, records show.
"For years, Cancer Fund founder James T. Reynolds Sr. and his family have obscured that fact with accounting tricks, deceptive marketing campaigns and lies, the Tampa Bay Times and The Center for Investigative Reporting have found."
Nothing to add except everyone should read this shocking story, which is part of the newspaper's series America's Worst Charities.

6 Tips to Rein in Spending and Be a Lean Start-Up
by Caron_Beesley, Community Moderator
- Created: November 5, 2012, 7:38 am
- Updated: November 6, 2012, 10:19 am
The average cost of starting a business is $30,000, according to a 2009 study by the Kauffman Foundation. But whether your cash comes from savings or financing, watching how you spend your money is critical to the success of your venture. This means establishing boundaries and habits that ensure you spend your money wisely and operate as a lean start-up.
Here are six ways to rein in spending as you start and grow your business:
Work from Home, Co-Working Spaces or Serviced Office Space
This one may sound obvious, but not all new businesses need to jump into a commercial office lease right away. Setting up a home office is a low-cost alternative (and can save you tax dollars). If you find you need a more social setting, consider a co-working space. These facilities are available in many cities and offer great opportunities for you to mingle with like-minded entrepreneurs. These workspaces are often also a lot cooler than any space a new start-up could ever afford. Talk to your local Small Business Development Center about co-working spaces in your area or hit up Google.
If you really do need your own office space, consider renting a serviced office or executive suite. Usually located in busy business districts, these premises are fully equipped and managed by a facility management firm. The rental agreements are often more flexible than commercial leases and give you the option of easily scaling up if you need to. Typically, a serviced office broker can help you locate the right space.
Buy Surplus and Barter
Save money by buying used equipment and office supplies. Check Craig's List or eBay or buy government surplus equipment (a little-known but very cost-effective way to equip your business).
Bartering – exchanging goods and services directly with another party – is also an underutilized business practice among start-ups. Think about ways you could barter to reduce costs. For example, if you run a painting business and you need to purchase a business vehicle, could you barter a discounted price from the dealer in exchange for a new coat of paint in his showroom? Read more about bartering from SBA guest blogger Barbara Weltman.
Don't Hire Employees Until You Can Keep Them Busy
Offer interns work experience or hire independent contractors or even friends and family on an hourly or project basis to keep your costs low. If you need them to work alongside you in an office space, introduce a hot-desking policy so that your workers can share a space on a rotating basis without you needing to lease more space. For more tips, read "Chief Everything Officer" No More! – 6 Options for Staffing your Growing Business.
Be a Budget-Conscious Marketer
Invest in marketing and promotion thoughtfully and have a game plan. Think about low-cost tactics (you'll find some here) and don't overdo it on the glossy marketing materials – are they really necessary? If you and your staff have a clear elevator pitch and can engage and follow up enthusiastically with targeted prospects, there's a good chance you'll get a similar return on investment as the big guys with their glossy slicks and advertising budgets.
To help you stay on track, create a plan for the year or quarter and calendar it out. This way you're more likely to follow through, stay on-budget and be less burdened by the need to come up with last minute marketing tactics. Don't forget to monitor ROI to help you make informed decisions about what works and what doesn't. This can be as simple as asking and tracking how customers heard about you.

- How to Set a Marketing Budget that Fits your Business Goals and Provides a High Return on Investment
- How to Cut Your Marketing Budget and Build Your Brand Profitably
Safeguard Your Personal Assets
If you think you are likely to incur debt during your start-up phase, consider forming a limited liability company (LLC) to protect your personal assets – your finances, car and house. Forming an LLC will ensure you are not personally liable for debts or judgments brought against your business as a result of a lawsuit.
Don't Be Afraid to Negotiate
Whether it's a contract with a supplier or a new customer, you should master the art of negotiation. Many new business owners skip this important best practice in their early years, but practicing negotiation early will help you establish relationships that save you money now and over the long haul. Just be sure not to nickel-and-dime the fair offers that come your way, and work to build relationships with these vendors through repeat business and referrals.

comments also contained some good food for thought. I always found that if
you have a line of credit, or a cash reserve set aside for a certain project,
it is almost sure to be used and you'll still need more. Try and develop a
mind set that this first project/offering/event has to work and pay for
itself quickly, or you're finished, and you'll find you really can do more
with less. I liked the comments to follow the money, and don't "buy" bad
business. (Sell to those who don't pay.) Good luck.

barriers are placed in front of you. Keep motivated and believe in what you
are doing. Set Realistic goals and Targets.
San Diego Electrician | Window Shopper | 11/7/2012 - 4:28 pm
too many things to do and don't know where to start, always start closest to
money. Money is to a business like oxygen is to your lungs. Keep it close and
don't spend it unless you know it will aid in producing revenue. Always think
about how each expenditure will help produce revenue.

Do you have a great product or service that you are trying to sell on the internet? You have probably found out that no matter how great your website looks getting traffic and then turning that traffic into conversions and sales is no easy task. If you owned a restaurant that was in an out of the way and hidden location then no matter how beautiful the décor and delicious the food was you probably wouldn't have many customers walking through the door. Now put that same restaurant in the middle of a cities main street and the sales would and customers would be massively greater.
A great domain name and a great website is nothing without the use of any SEO services. SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization and is the difference between being non-existent on the search engines or on page 1. It is possible to do your own SEO, but will never be as time and cost effective as hiring an industry professional. If you want to start getting that valuable traffic to your website you will need to seek out the services of an SEO company.
Choosing the right SEO Company for you is just like anything else you will need to take some time to do the research in order to find the best fit for you. There is no industry standard in the SEO field. The range in SEO companies can vary greatly from the different services they specialize in to the rates they charge. Just like any other investment in life some research will be needed.
The best way to find an SEO company would be by simply doing an internet search.
After all you have to think that if they are ranking highly in their competitive industry that they would be able to do the same for you and your business. After doing a search you should contact more than just one company and get an idea of what they have to offer. Comparing pricing is very important but remember just like anything else: you get what you pay for.

Hi everyone,
I got a very strange question. I downloaded the whole website into my dreamweaver cs4 console.
When I preview the average webpage from the DW, the name of the webpage just changer to a weird one,like TMP3gl652end2.htm
When I preview the template file(suffis with .dwt) from the DW, it is said Server Error 404 - File or directory not found.
I don't know why, because it seems everything else is Ok.
Thank you for help. Look forward to your answer.
I am looking for the answer on the internet,but unfortunately nothing useful found.
Is anyone else ever has this problem?
wait and wait, wait, wait...someone help me please
Are you previewing in browser or DW Live view?
Thank God, thank you Brad, I preview it in the browser. I remember it was OK before. But now it is wrong and I uninstal and re-instal the DW, but it is still wrong. I don't know what's wrong.
Hi lindaqiu84,
I don't have CS4, but I tested this in CS5.5 and this is not how it works for me. I used BC Extension to log in and download the site locally. Once the site was downloaded I went to Local View inside Files panel and opened a page. To preview that page I went to File > Preview in Browser > Chrome and what happens is that DW preforms a put action (uplaods the file to the actual site) and then opens that page on my site in Chrome.
I really don't know why it behaves so differently on your machine...
Did you use a third party FTP to download the site and then are trying to edit and preview them?
Make sure that you set up the site in Dreamweaver first then us Dreamweaver to get the entire site. Sounds to me as if you havn't got the site set up properly in Dreamweaver. If it is set up properly you should not get that issue. When previewing in a browser Dreamweaver wants to view from the testing server generally. If the site is not set up correctly in Dreamweaver things just don't work - thats not a BC thing, that is a Dreamweaver thing.
Thank you Brad, it seems that it dose be a strange problem that no one else have.
Before, I was not clear about the relationship betwwen the DW and the business catalyst extension. I ever got my BC website through the 'new site' fuction and set the sever by hand. Maybe because of my hand-set configuration, something goes wrong. But I re-intall the DW. It still does work~~
Hi Mario, thank you for your reply. how about preview the template file in the 'template' fold?
That is as I expected. I be;ieve you are not following the correct way to set up your BC site.
First, make sure you have the latest BC extension installed.
Then login to your BC admin using the BC Panel in Dreamweaver.
Once logged in you will see a list of sites associated with your partner portal
From there is where you can select and set up the site properly and automatically.
DWT templates can't be previewed from File > Preview in browser. DW will send you to .dwt extension which can't be handled by BC.
Any case, for previewing you can always do Alt+Tab or Command+Tab and F5.

Certified Teachers
Submitted: 01/09/2013
Enlarge Image
- You might think once your kid's teachers are hired, they're set, but at least three Northwoods educators are getting big recognition.
The Northland Pines teachers earned their National Board Certification. The process can take up to three years. Only fifty percent of applicants receive their certification. High school principal, Jim Brewer, says it is great for the school.
"The state of Wisconsin recognizes individuals who achieve National Board Certification as the highest level. It puts them at a master educator status," says Brewer.
The process is helpful for teachers in two ways. First, teachers must track students learning. Second, teachers videotape themselves in lectures. Newly certified math teacher John Hayes found the process useful.
"Especially through the video process, you watch yourself a hundred times on video and you see oh, I can be doing this better or I can be doing this better," said Hayes.
The two other teachers that received their certification are kindergarten grade teacher, Kim Lewandowski, and Middle School special education teacher, Faith Schneider. Other teachers are already preparing for next year with good reason to do so.
"What I've heard from other people that have done that is that it really improves your teaching. It really makes you study what you are doing, why your doing it, how it helps students, how you can help students learn," said Robin Indermuehle, a science teacher applying for next year.
Overall, teachers say it is the students that get the benefit of better teachers.

OWI hefty, but not enough to keep from drunk driving
Submitted: 04/21/2014
- OSHKOSH, Wis. (AP) � The fine for a first drunken-driving offense, including court costs and surcharges, can be as high as $1,000. But industry experts are questioning whether heavy fines serve as effective enough deterrents.
A Northwestern Media report says the actual fine ranges from $150 to $300. But court costs can add $600 to $700.
Nina Emerson is a former director of the Resource Center for Impaired Driving at the University of Wisconsin Law School. She says a hefty fine is a "hollow threat." She says options like sobriety checkpoints are what get people's attention.
Democratic state Representative Jon Richards of Milwaukee says fines play an important role in deterring drunken drivers. He says it's just one part of the deterrence effort, and he'd like to see overall penalties get tougher.

Wisconsin DNR lightens 22 year restrictions on largemouth bass
Submitted: 04/21/2014
- Anglers in northern Wisconsin can keep largemouth bass this season for the first time in 22 years.
The bass season has been catch-and-release in northern Wisconsin since 1992.
But DNR leaders say the fish is doing so well that this year anglers can take them home. The largemouth season runs from May 3 to March 1, 2015.
Some restrictions still apply on smallmouths in the northern zone, however. Anglers still must immediately release smallmouth bass caught between May 3 and June 20.
But between June 21 and March, they can take home smallmouth bass that are 14 inches long.
Daily bag limits are five bass total

To see the results of our 2007 Diversity Survey, click here.
Having finished a big presentation to the management of a Mexican resort, Oscar Munoz, the 47-year-old CFO of transportation giant CSX Corp., was passing through the pool area when he was interrupted by a white-American couple on vacation. "Can you take care of these?" the husband asked as he thrust wet, dirty towels into Munoz's hands.
Munoz, a Mexican-American, tells the story with a laugh — he even found an appropriate spot for the towels. As the finance chief for a $9.5 billion global company, he can afford to take a generous view of his mistaken identity. Still, he's not unaware of the implications. "Everyone has images in their mind of what to expect from different groups," he says.
For decades, companies have been trying to modify their own perceptions and expectations of underrepresented groups. Through diversity programs, special recruiting efforts, and affinity groups, they have reached out to women and minorities in hopes of creating more parity in the upper ranks. But while women have made some progress, minorities have made little.
That's particularly true in finance departments. While the number of women CFOs in the Fortune 500 has risen steadily, from 24 in 2001 to 38 this year, for people of color only the names have changed: six years ago CFO magazine counted 14 minority finance chiefs among those companies, the same as in 2006 (see "The Great Divide").
At lower levels within the finance department, the disparity between women and minorities is even more dramatic. CFO estimates that 16 percent of Fortune 500 controllers are women, while only 4 percent are minorities. The numbers are similar for treasurers, with 16 percent women and 6 percent minorities. Sixty percent of respondents to a recent survey of CFO readers estimate that their finance departments have more female employees than the rest of the company; in contrast, about half surveyed say their department lags the company as a whole in terms of African-American, Hispanic, and Asian-American staff.
Few finance chiefs have a fix on why more women than minorities have moved up the corporate-finance ladder. "The only thing I can point to is that we have a great pool of women to choose from because we have been hiring talented women for the past 20 years, whereas the push to hire minorities is much newer," says Doreen Toben, CFO of $93 billion Verizon Communications Co. And unfortunately, if the statistics from the CFO survey — which show that more than 60 percent of respondents do not consider diversity efforts a high priority — are any indication, the situation will not change anytime soon.
Power in Degrees
One reason more women than minorities have succeeded in finance is simply a function of demographics. Women make up about 50 percent of the U.S. population, while minorities total about 30 percent (male and female combined). And women are evenly dispersed (and in fact outnumber men) in nearly every state. In contrast, non-white populations are heavily concentrated in certain states, like Texas and California, and all but absent from others, like Maine and Montana, according to 2005 data from the U.S. Census Bureau.

Heard same from several more execs RT @NYDNHarper: Spoke to 2 GMs who say Niese has significantly more trade value than Dickey.
Trade both.
Ninety percent Ill spend on good times, women, and Irish whiskey. The other ten percent Ill probably waste.
- Tug McGraw, on his plans for his $75,000 salary
I don't get why the Royals are also willing to part with Hosmer, Moustakas, etc. Any chance we could send Dickey, Ike, and Duda and get Myers & Hosmer? I know he had a down year but I think Hosmer is gonna be a beast!
Would love to keep RA but if we're not spending in the FA pool then he seems like the most logical trade chip. Niese has good upside and fits the 2014+ plan.
IMO depends what that team is looking for. Neise is obviously a better deal, but Dickey is definitely the better pitcher (Ace material) at this moment. We could get a good package of prospects for Neise but seems like Dickey can get us the 1 impact player...

April 25, 2013
At Wrigley: Every season Levy Restaurants, which handles the concessions at Wrigley Field, manages to come up with a few new food items for fans to try. You may have to search a bit for these new items, some of which are available in only one or two spots in the park. The most inventive, if somewhat impractical, newcomer is the Chicken and Waffle Stix, which jams two waffles and three pieces of fried chicken (boneless) on a skewer; it comes with an open cup of bacon-maple dipping sauce and is a challenge to eat neatly; price is $10, or $13.25 if you include the cost of dry-cleaning my sweater.
There's a Chicago Chop Dog ($8.25), a footlong on which the traditional Chicago hot dog components have been chopped into a relish, and the bison dog options expand with the addition of a bison bratwurst ($7.75), which is pretty tasty and single-hand friendly. A hefty pulled-pork sandwich ($7.50) made with Uncle Dougie's BBQ Sauce (a sponsor this year) isn't going to replace your favorite 'cue, but it's decent (it would be more grandstand-friendly if cut in half).
My hands-down (make that hands-up?) favorite is the Sheffield Dip ($11.50), a hearty, two-handed sandwich that's a cross between a French dip sandwich and an Italian beef. The sliced beef is piled high on a crusty Italian roll and topped with provolone cheese; alongside is a wide cup of jus for dipping and a nice pile of excellent fries.
The catch is that the sandwich is available only at the Sheffield Grill (at the right-field extreme of the main concourse) and is so unwieldy you'll want to sit and eat it right there. Luckily, the grill offers a fair amount of seating. — Phil Vettel
At the Cell: The start of a baseball season brings such promise — and for purposes of this Dining section, the promise of new stadium foods beyond peanuts and Cracker Jack. Allegiances aside, U.S. Cellular Field has historically served better food than its North Side counterpart, only because the stadium offers more modern amenities.
In years past, Sox park has included Wow Bao and Smoque BBQ among its vendors. So during the opening-week stand, I spent a game sampling the new menu items at The Cell's 100 and 500 levels. (Didn't try the stadium's more exclusive stadium club and diamond suite levels, which offer an expanded menu.)
At the general-admission levels, new foods include a meatball sandwich (the three balls were meatloaflike in taste and texture), a barbecue pulled pork sandwich (just OK) and the Comiskey Burger, a cheeseburger with a pico de gallo consisting of Chicago hot dog toppings (smart concept, but the poppy seed bun needs to be grilled or steamed). My favorite was the Walking Taco — or, the Frito pie-in-a-bag popular in Ohio and points south. It's a bag of Frito corn chips, with nacho cheese, chili and hot peppers deposited inside the bag and eaten with a fork.
It's a bit hard to find the chili meat, but still it was sloppily enjoyable: cheesy, warm, crunchy, messy but containable. This should be served at every ballpark in America. $4.50, at Sections 110, 164 and 544 at U.S. Cellular Field. — Kevin Pang

Dont get me wrong, I will certainly buy this at day one but mostly because ARPGs are so rare nowdays but the overall feeling of the game... I dont know... the gameplay looks a bit more spammy than it should be but thats okay.
I mean, its a good game but seriously something tells me that a game like this shouldnt take almost 10 years to be made. I was playing the beta for like 30 min and I was already itching to go back to play Dota 2 (my regular game of choice atm, and its artstyle is what Diablo 3 should have been) something that I thought that would never happen, I always thought that once I got my hands on Diablo 3, it could be beta or retail, I wouldnt take my hands off it and today I dont even feel like playing it.
The monk was the most fun part of the beta imo, the WD works, a bit too spammy but he works, the Wizard was the most boring one to me, Demon Hunter was boring as well but to me it was better than the wizard.
But my main problem is with the immersion, there is something off... Its hard to point what... I think its the whole "halloween palette" that the beta has, I was always one of the guys against the wow comparisons but this screams so much of undercity...
Weird... I thought that D3 would be the king of the ARPGs but.... I am now really looking forward Grim Dawn, Torchlight 2 and Borderlands 2.
I went on ecstasy when I heard about the open beta weekend, I tried giving it a second chance to slay some more monsters but as soon as I got in the character screen Its felt so... "meh"

Re: Anyone else having a terrible feeling of... "meh" ?
Well the game is alright-ish imho.. But seriously, where did those 7 years of development go ? I just don't see it ..
So yeah, its a bit like , meh. Some things definately need some polish, like the interface and chat/friends systems.. Wtf they have been doing these years I don't know. The game looks pretty unfinished to me.
21-04-2012, 11:48 #3
Re: Anyone else having a terrible feeling of... "meh" ?
If you feel like playing Dota 2 after only 30 minutes of D3, then I guess D3 isn't for you. There must just be a fundamental difference in game taste.
I've been playing the beta for two months now and STILL keep playing through it. I just find it incredibly fun.
Perhaps for you, part of the disillusionment is the fact that there's no progress beyond the limited beta content. There's no urge to play because you know that ultimately, you're going to be playing new chars all the way to 60 when retail comes out.
21-04-2012, 11:49 #4
Re: Anyone else having a terrible feeling of... "meh" ?
remember this is just the first hour really in the beta.. its really nothing amazing the first hours i bet. .then it will get better and more fun i bet.
21-04-2012, 11:50 #5
Re: Anyone else having a terrible feeling of... "meh" ?
I have been playing D2 since it was out, but honestly, the beta is much more amazing and superior than the whole of D2 and LOD put together.
And after playing crappy diablo clones like path of exile, D3 is still #1, in terms of graphics, gameplay and lore.

Re: Anyone else having a terrible feeling of... "meh" ?
I personally really dislike Act1, it's too dull and colorless. I also dislike rune system, I think it's worst of all versions they had so far.
Other than that the game is amazing.

Re: Anyone else having a terrible feeling of... "meh" ?
First time playing the beta, unfortunately it feels just like I predicted it would. Played the barbarian, pretty impressed with the feel of the skills, fun class overall. But the game is very meh. Not bad, but just so generic.
Every piece of lore from the previous games, that had a mysterious vibe to it, is just thrown at you like some fairy-tale that you now MUST take seriously! Overacting just kills the mood of the lore. Maybe it was meant to be so cheesy, I don't know.
The art direction (resurrecting the dead horse and beating it again) is way off. Now don't get me wrong, it is nice on it's own, but not in a Diablo game. Maybe in some sort of a friendly-environment fantasy-adventure. Not in a game that pretends to have an occult, terrifying atmosphere.Those trees have the Scooby-Doo, horror theme park feel.
The mechanics of the game seemed a bit too "streamlined" for my tastes. The skills are probably balanced, they look good and feel right, but overall nothing impressive. Haven't seen anything remotely interesting on weapons as far as magical properties go. Crafting is your basic WoW-system. Ok-ish, not much happening there. The first games had abit of an RPG feel to them, this one lost it completely.
Overall it feels like a re-imagining of the Diablo universe for the younger generation. It has lost its depth and atmosphere,the gothic medieval feeling, but gained a bit in the gameplay department. It will be a great game for those who only played WoW and/or never played the Diablo series. I personally stay by my word, and will only purchase it when I can at a 25-30$ price.

Re: Anyone else having a terrible feeling of... "meh" ?
It's the beginning of the game, of course its gonna be boring. That's what it was like in D2. Once you get to the hard stuff that's when it gets fun. And Wizard is like the sorc at the beginning, boring, but when you get late into the game it gets fun to play. I think it will pale in comparison to D2 though, no stat points, no skill points, runes are stupid made the game stupid, there's just no motivation to keep playing once you've reached level 60 and have messed around with all the (limited) builds.
They really pulled a Duke Nukem Forever with this game.

I have a 3gs with 3.0.1 running ultrasn0w so I can use vodafone in the uk. All is working on the phone side, with no issues at all, however this weekend the phone has lost the ability to sync...
In itunes when I plug in the phone, it says a new firmware is available (3.1) so I click cancel to stop it downloading or installing, and instead of then showing the status page for the phone and syncing it shows 'the sim card inserted in this iphone does not appear to be supported'
The phone itself is still activated though and I can make calls etc.
Any idea what is going on here - have apple now put a stop to using a different carrier with itunes than the official, or has something just gone odd on my setup/phone?
Any advice?

When I first had my son, I bought tons of baby products, toys and baby gear aimed at making my life a bit easier. Unfortunately, the majority of them did not quite live up to the hype. Surprisingly, the best product I found during those first few months was Shout Stain Gel. This stuff got out everything my son did to his clothes and saved me hundreds of dollars in clothing expenses. Grape juice, baby poop, grass stains, just about everything came out. What are some of the best baby products you've found that you just couldn't live without?
The things that I could not live without would be: Diaper Genie, Boppy Pillow: it's like an extra set of hands, Activity Gym, swing, and her pacifier clip. :)
My son is four months old and I have wated alot of money on things I thought would be great and weren't and some that turned out to be AWESOME!
Things I can't live without - Diaper Genie! Yes it stinks when you open it, but hey that's what your whole house would smell like if you didn't have the Genie. Boppy pillow! For those aching arms. Angel Care Baby Monitor! I know it's not fool proof but any extra measure I can take to take better care of my LO is a plus in my book. Bouncy Seat! How would I ever get anything done without it?! I put him in it while I shower, in the kitchen with me when I cook, etc.
We love the snap and go, any seat that transfers from car seat to stroller is genius! When they get a little older, we loved the jumpy seat (not the official name)... it hangs from a door jam and allows baby to bounce up and down and around in circles. The independent movement is much greater than in an exersaucer and really helps work baby's legs... both our girls fell in love with it at about 6 months...
Lullaby bear and Milicon!
A Wubbanub! It's a soothie pacifier attached to a small stuffed animal. It sounds strange - but my son has been able to play with and put his paci in his mouth himself since about 6 weeks old. He loves his Froggie and we don't go anywhere without it.

I heard that on the radio this morning but it was kindof confusing. So the town isn't 'dry' it's just 'local wet only'?? That's kinda cool.
- Original vote (I've lost track of what happened when... it's all been over the course of this school year, which is how I track time ): Residents voted to move from "damp" Local Option to no Local Option, commonly known as "Wet."
- Residents discover that in going no-Local-Option, we'd be opening ourselves up to local liquor sales, which no one really wanted. People just didn't want their name going on a list whenever they ordered alcohol, and a few (DH and me, anyway ) wanted to be able to homebrew legally.
- A few local businesses (a store and some restaurants? Maybe two stores and some restaurants? Something like that) apply for liquor licenses.
- People freak right the *bleep* out.
- Advisory vote (to the Alcohol Beverage Control Board): Community says "We don't want liquor sales in Bethel."
- ABC Board rejects all liquor license applications, I BELIEVE citing the advisory vote.
- People who opposed the original ditch-the-Local-Option movement petition to hold ANOTHER vote. Now, after you vote INTO a Local Option status (damp or dry) you have to wait two years (three years? I forget) to change it, but there's no specification as to how long you have to wait after voting OUT of Local Option.
- People vote. We remain "No Local Option," and hopefully the ABC board will continue to respect the "please don't approve liquor sales in town" advisory vote.
So there ya go. My (fairly uneducated) take on what has gone down this school year. Clear as mud, eh?

Artist Biographies
Select a letter below to see the biographies for artists
whose last names start with that letter.
La Tour, Georges de
(France, 1593-1652)
La Tour was influenced by the Italian painter Caravaggio, but he developed a style all his own. Well known in his lifetime, the artist was forgotten until fairly recently. Only forty paintings by La Tour are known to exist, but he is considered one of the most important French painters. His works often depict scenes in which a single candle is the only source of light.
Lange, Dorothea
(United States, 1895-1965)
Lange ranks as one of the finest documentary photographers in America. During the great Depression, she was hired by the United States government to photograph the plight of migrant workers in California. Her photographs were intended to inform the public about the sad conditions of migrant families. Her best-known photograph from this assignment is Migrant Mother, Nipomo Valley. The worried, careworn face of the mother, the baby on her lap, and the two children who cling to their mother while turning from the camera provide a powerful statement and social documentary about the workers' desperate situation.
Lawrence, Jacob
(United States, 1917-2000)
Lawrence was part of the Social Realist movement in America, a group of artists who focused their work on ordinary people and the many injustices imposed on them by an uncaring society. Lawrence created a sixty-panel series that dealt with the oppression of African Americans. One of the Largest Race Riots Occurred in East St. Louis is one of the best-known panels from that series.
Lazarini, Gustavo
(Uruguay, b.1918)
Lazarini, a police detective, as largely a self-taught painter. For a brief period, he studied with a commercial artist from whom he learned to portray basic proportions in the face and techniques for painting portraits.
Le Corbusier, Charles-Edouard Jenneret
(1887-1965, Swiss )
Le Corbusier was one of the first architects to deviate from modern architectural principles. The concept of his pilgrimage chapel, Notre-Dame-du-Haut, was completely new. Built on a hilltop near Ronchamp, France, the chapel abandons every aspect of the International Style. Using his favorite construction material, reinforced concrete, he formed an organic sculpture instead of a shoe-box building. Around every interior turn there seems to be a surprise.
Lee-Smith, Hughie
(United States, b.1914)
Lee-Smith, an African American, is known for paintings that express a sense of isolated or lonely individuals in environments that have lost their beauty or purpose. Although his work is called surrealistic, he has observed many of the environments that he portrays.
Léger, Fernand
(France, 1881-1955)
Léger worked in several styles, but is most well known for his development of a bold geometric style of painting. He often portrayed people and objects by using wide black contours, and strong contrasts between curved and angular forms. He also created designs for tapestries and mosaic murals.
Lenz, Alfred
(United States, 1872-1926)
Lenz began his career as a jeweler's apprentice, then studied engraving and other techniques he would need to know to sculpt in metal. Lenz's most notable pieces are small bronze sculptures of figures, often based on photographs of North American Indians.
Lesch, Alma
(United States, 20th century)
Lesch has received national awards for her work since the 1950s. She mostly enjoys the process of selecting materials for her work and working out the design. Although she is a superb artisan, she describes the actual fabrication of her work as drudgery. She is well known for her appliqué portraits made from old clothing.
Lewis, Edmonia
(United States, 1844-1909)
Lewis was born in Ohio of a Chippewa mother and an African-American father. She was orphaned during her teens and attended Oberlin College on an Abolitionist scholarship. Lewis was the first African-American, male or female, to receive international recognition as a sculptor. In addition to portrait busts, she sculpted studies of ethnic women. The artist once commented, 'I have strong sympathy for all women who have struggled and suffered.'
Leyster, Judith
(The Netherlands, 1609-1660)
The Dutch artist Judith Leyster was probably the best-known female painter of the seventeenth century. Although she knew and was influenced by the artist Frans Hals, she created a style all her own. In her well-known self-portrait, one can see that she obviously enjoys her work. After her death, Leyster's works were often thought to be the work of other artists. But today she is again well known.
Li Shih-hsing
(China, 1283-1328)
Li Shih-hsing was the son of a government official and often traveled with his father. During these times, Li Shih-hsing met elders who taught him ancient Chinese painting and calligraphy techniques. Nature and old trees are common themes in his work.
Lichtenstein, Roy
(United States, 1923-1997)
Roy Lichtenstein became one of the stars of Pop Art. Like other Pop Artists, he wanted to play on the slick, multiple images of commercial art, its mechanical techniques, and its glossy colors. Lichtenstein made giant cartoon-like paintings. Often, he poked gentle fun at the melodrama of the Sunday comics and the national fascination with them. His machine-like style remained the same for years.
Lindner, Richard
(United States, 1901-1978)
German-born Lindner began his career as a book illustrator and a magazine graphic artist. The subjects in his paintings were varied, but often related to his life in New York City. His works are representational, but reflect his interest in the selective exaggeration of points of view, color, or other visual elements.
Lomahaftewa, Linda
(United States, b.1947)
Lomahaftewa is a Hopi-Choctaw Indian whose abstract acrylic paintings and monoprints are based on themes and symbols from her tribal heritage. Lomahaftewa has taught at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe for over twelve years.
Lorrain, Claude
(France, 1600-1682)
Although born in France, Claude lived and worked in Rome, Italy, for most of his life. He is known for carefully composed landscape paintings. In many of his works, he uses a soft light that creates a dreamy mood. Claude did not enjoy painting people and often paid other artists to add figures to his landscapes. One of his best-known works is The Marriage of Isaac and Rebecca.
Louis, Morris
(United States, 1912-1962)
Morris Louis based his images on the physical movement of color across unprimed canvas. First, he poured diluted acrylic paint on the canvas. Then, he tilted the canvas and let the paint run until it produced superimposed veils of color. Sometimes the shapes were linear, running from top to bottom. Others spread in different directions. The overlapping, transparent shapes create a feeling of depth on the huge flat surfaces. Although the work is spontaneous and unplanned, the working process is delicate and careful.
Lubalin, Herb
(United States, 1918-1981)
Lubalin became well known for his highly inventive uses of typefaces (lettering) and original designs for new typefaces. He combined typefaces with picture symbols and photography so that the meaning of words were also expressed visually.

UEFA Champions League

AS Roma0
- FTFT4Valencia
Liverpool progress to the quarter-finals after dumping out Barcelona who have been awful over the two legs.
FULL-TIME: LIVERPOOL 0-1 BARCELONA: Liverpool go through on away goals
That famous anthemn rings around Anfield and that can only mean one thing. They're on the verge of another win. And they deserve it. Benitez has got his tactics spot on and his players have followed his instruction to the letter.
Wonderful chance for Crouch after a lovely Pennant cross. The big man did well to get to the near post and make contact, but he conuldn't keep it down and it balloons over.
Three minutes will be added, but in truth, Barca need about 33.
Crouch comes on for Kuyt as Liverpool look to hang on for just a few more minutes.
Barca are becoming their own worst enemy by wasting shots, giving away passes and handing over possession.
It's all hands to the pump for Liverpool and Steve Finnan twice blocks Gudjohnsen in his tracks and Liverpool move closer to a famous victory.
Liverpool are still enjoying much of the posession and you don't get the feeling of Barca nicking that second goal.
Aurellio clips a left-foot free-kick from the edge of the box that just nicks the top of the wall and hands Liverpool a corner. From it, Gerrard fires a fierce drive that brings a dramatic dive from Valdez.
Some of the swagger is starting to return to Barcelona now but Liverpool are still breaking up moves and hurrying Barca into mistakes.
Pennant goes into the book with a high, raking boot on Messi. I would have been tempted to brandish a red for that dangerous tackle.
One goal would do it for Barcelona but they would scarcely deserve it. They haven't done much over the two legs but can they find that crucial second goal tonight?
Liverpool make a change and bring on Aurelio for Riise. The Liverpool fans get behind their hereos as Barca look to push forward once more.
Former Chelsea favourite Eidur Gudjohnsen slips past Reina and taps into an open net for a well-taken goal. It gives Barca a lifeline and the wind is in the Barca sails now.
With Barca throwing numbers forward, gaps will open in the Barcelona defence and Gerrard runs into run and rattles off a shot that stings the hands of Valdez.
Last throw of the dice for Barcelona? They throw on Eidur Gudjohnsen in place of Thuram and switch to a 3-4-4 formation.
Not been too many nervous moments for Liverpool in this match and their stubborn defensive unit doesn't look like handing out any more.
The home fans are beginning to believe this tie is done and dusted. They're on their feet and singing again and enjoying watching their side hold the holders at bay.
A quarter of the match to play and Liverpool look good for their advantage. Liverpool make a change with Bellamy departing in place of Jermaine Pennant.
The game is starting to stretch now with both sides streaming forward. Liverpool still feel they can grab a goal that would surely end the tie. Barca don't look as if they can muster one, let alone two.
Kuyt tries an ambitious volley from 30 yards that keeps Valdez guessing. It bounces safely wide but it's another reminder that Liverpool are far the more likely to seize the initiative.
A change for Barcelona and it's Guily who comes on for Eto'o. It's a slight surprise with Barca needing two goals, but the visitors need some fresh ideas quickly.
Fantastic combination between the Barca front two ends with a tame shot from Messi that Reina pounces on. A fine move but Barca need more.
Gerrard is given a half chance by Kuyt down the right, but he reaches at his shot and it bobbles wide.
Rijkaard is starting to look a little bit twitchy in his seat. The usual model of calm and collectedness is in trouble here and needs his players to respond quickly if they're to have a chance of going through.
Looking back at the replay and you have to say that Ronaldinho should have scored. He was clean through and should have slotted his effort beyond Reina.
The magic of Ronaldinho comes back and a moment of breathtaking skill almost hands Barca a lifeline. He skipped away from two weak challenges and fired his shot against the post. Stunning.
First free-kick of the night from Ronaldinho and it's hit well and evades the wall, but it didn't have the juice to beat Reina who moves across his line to make the save.
Every time Messi, Eto'o, Deco or Ronaldinho get near the ball they are soon crowded out by a swarm of red shirts. It's a fine display of defensive pressing.
Sartorial spot of the night. Deco is sporting odd boots and it hasn't done him any favours so far this evening.
What a chance for Bellamy. Steven Gerrard's perfect cross from the right finds the Welshman inside the box but he somehow loses the flight of the ball and it just deflects of his thigh and clear. Another wasted chance for Liverpool.
And play resumes as Barca go in search of two vital goals.
The players are back out and we're ready for the second half.
Liverpool are 45 minutes away from a hard-fought and well-deserved place in the quarter-finals. Barcelona have done nothing that half to suggest they will score two in the next. It has been the home side who have closest to scoring with Riise and Sissoko both hitting the bar.
A corner on the stroke of half-time for Barca but nothing doing from it. Liverpool can head into the break more than satisfied with the way the first half has turned out.
Carragher is having a monumental performance at the heart of the Liverpool defence. That's three crucial tackles he's made this half, the latest is on Eto'o.
Ronaldinho, so often Barca's saviour does not look in the mood tonight. He's lumbering around not looking too pleased with what's unfolding around him.
Sissoko is treading a very thin line. He's already been booked but it's not deterred him from flying into some meaty tackles.
Reina is still untroubled and Liverpool's resilience and concentration so far has been first rate.
A neat, slick, passing attack involving Eto'o and Messi almost gives the Cameroonian a run on goal, but he is denied by the linesman's raised flag.
A training-ground routine corner that sees Ronaldinho lurk on the edge of the box and volley Deco's cross flies miles over the bar and typifies the Brazilian's contribution so far. He has produced next to nothing and his side are not firing at all.
The Liverpool fans are understandably cock-a-hoop right now. They're watching their side dominate Barcelona at the moment and they're more than happy to see this continue.
That's twice Liverpool have hit the bar now and this time Sissoko rattles it. It was a terrible clearance by Valdez that fell to Sissoko and his quick reactions almost put the Reds ahead. A neat effort from 25 yards out.
The Frenchman isn't so smart with his next challenge though. It's on Kuyt again but this time it was late and ugly and subsequently earns him a booking.
Kuyt goes on a lung-busting run upfield and despite being shepherded by a hoard of yellow shirts he creates a chance. A fine block eventually from Thuram saves the danger.
A remarkable double save from Valdes keeps his side in the tie. Bellamy and Kuyt were both denied from close range by the Spaniard who somehow got down twice to claw away the shots. Phenomenal goalkeeping.
Mohammed Sissoko becomes the second Liverpool player to enter the referee's book. A yellow card for him for an awkward challenge.
Fantastic pressure from the Liverpool forwards forces Ronaldinho of all people to give it the heave-ho and clear the danger. Barca can't get going at the moment and it's down to Liverpool's harrying.
Marquez glances a header inches wide, but it wouldn't have counted anyway. It was a tight call and Liverpool were stretched from Deco's free-kick there.
Benitez is already out of his dugout and firing off instructions to his charges. He can't have too much to complain about so far, can he?
First yellow card of the night and it's gone to Arbeloa for a reckless challenge on Messi.
Update from Stamford Bridge and it's Chelsea 0-1 Porto. Quaresma got it and that puts the Portuguese champions ahead in the tie.
Carragher makes a heroic tackle on Deco who had left Xabi Alonso in his wake. It's the first time Barca have managed to get forward with any purpose.
Liverpool are playing on the front foot and dictating the play in these opening minutes, it's been a fine start for the Reds who have twice come close to scoring.
What an effort by Riise. A venomous, dipping, half-volley cracks the bar and gives Valdes an almighty fright.
Ronaldinho is being booed with every touch. Not sure why? Do they not appreciate wonderfully gifted footballers on Merseyside?
Reina in the Liverpool goal has been a spectator so far and will be pleased his involvement has been minimal.
Riise, whose goal separates the two sides, fires in a trademark left-foot low drive from the edge of the box and it whistles just wide. An early scare for Barca.
It's a lively and pacy start to the game. Liverpool if anything are looking the more dangerous side.
Liverpool press early on and Craig Bellamy nips in front of Lillian Thuram and tries to direct Steve Finnan's cross goalwards. Unfortunately for the Welshman his volley is easily gathered by Valdes.
Let me fill you in on the atmosphere at Anfield. It is enough to get the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end. Before the players came out we were treated to a raucus rendition of the Kop's favourite anthemn and every single Red in the stadium got involved, it's deafening.
Liverpool, of course, are in the commanding position of being 2-1 up with those two away goals. That in mind, they may have to settle with being without the ball with long periods of play. Barca set about keeping the ball immediately.
We're underway at Anfield!
The teams are in and there are four changes for Barcelona with the most notable being Samuel Eto'o's return to the attack. Liverpool hand Alvaro Arbeloa his first start at Anfield. It's the same team that stunned the Spanish a fortnight ago and we're moments away from the return leg.
Welcome to this exciting clash of two European heavweights. We'll find out who will be knocked out and who will proceed to the quarter-finals. Liverpool are in the box seat after their superb win at the Nou Camp two weeks ago but Barca were the pre-tournament favourites and are the holders.

Apart from multihued roses and chrysanthemums, the market also offers many other blooms, typical of tropical climates. The best part is that when you compare the rates by western standards, you will see that all the flowers, including those grown in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, are sold at quite tempting rates. In addition to the flowers, the market also dedicates itself to a large variety of fresh vegetables, harvested in some of the surrounding provinces.
If you visit the market during daybreak, you can see boats and trucks laden with fresh flowers, vegetables and fruits stockpiling the day's supply. Most of the flowers are brought from the nearby provinces of Nakhot Prathom, Samut Sakon, Samut Songkran, Chiang Mai and Chaing Rai. Even though the place remains huddled with flower stalls throughout the day, the best time to visit it is during early morning or late at night. If you are in Bangkok, especially near Phahurat or Chinatown, do not miss a trip to this floral sanctuary.
If you are looking for florists in Bangkok, you may also go and get flowers from Pak Klong Talat. Most of the local people can bet that you won't be disappointed with the quality of fresh flowers and also cheap price.
Thank you for article from : bangkok.voyage99.com

I worked at Atwood Oceanics
Pros – Atwood is probably one of the better offshore drilling companies to work for. The pay and benefits are better than average and with a small fleet it is easy to stay on one rig for long term. I would recommend them over many others.
Cons – The main downside that I noticed was management on my rig to allow a certain person to have more authority than his job title allowed for.
This drilling company in many respects is just like any others in how they treat their people. Certain people are treated better than others and can at times have to do with job title.
Advice to Senior Management – Senior Management should preach and enforce the rules that are in print.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at Atwood Oceanics full-time for more than 3 years
I have been working at Atwood Oceanics full-time for more than a year

Sparks residents Jason Lopez and Nathan Twohearts, both 19, were taken into custody along with two 17-year-old males.
The Washoe County Sheriff's Office received a report of several subjects with spray-paint cans at 1:16 a.m. Sunday in the 500 block of Blue Skies Drive. Deputies located and detained four subjects. Evidence uncovered during the initial investigation linked these four subjects to numerous acts of graffiti vandalism and a vehicle burglary. The four subjects placed graffiti on homes, vehicles, trailers, fences, mail boxes, stops signs and electrical boxes. At this time, the sheriff's office has identified 24 victims in this residential area and is continuing to take reports. Lopez and Twohearts were arrested and taken to the Washoe County Sheriff's Office Detention Facility'
Lopez and Twohearts were booked on 10 counts of destruction of property, 10 counts of unlawful defacing of property, contributing to the delinquency of a minor and one felony charge of promoting gang activity. Their bail has been set at $32,425 each.
In addition, the two juveniles were booked into the Jan Evans Juvenile Detention Center on similar charges. Their names are being withheld because they are under the age of 18.
The sheriff's office expects additional charges to be filed as the investigation continues.
The Washoe County Sheriff's Office encourages victims, witnesses or anyone else with information about graffiti vandalism to call the sheriff's office at 328-3320 or Secret Witness at 322-4900.
